[-]. Establish a cabinet, select outstanding officials from the imperial court to enter the cabinet, and be responsible for the implementation of the reform.

There are a total of ten reform opinions above, and His Majesty ordered them to be circulated to the whole country for implementation.

The establishment of the Central Committee of the Shang Dynasty has achieved very good results. The common people know that the court keeps what it says, and the emperor keeps what he says, and what is said is a certainty.

So once the edict was announced, although the government and the public were shocked, they all knew that this was something the emperor had made up his mind to do, and no one objected.

In fact, within a few days after Shang Yang became a believer at the Meridian Gate, Shang Yang selected nineteen of his reform opinions and handed them to Wang Mang. After reading it, Wang Mang also lamented that Shang Yang was really bold.

For example, the Central Committee of the Shang proposed to abolish the system of prime ministers, thinking that only one emperor in the world is enough to keep his word, and there is no need for a prime minister to make troubles and decentralize powers. Cabinet system, gradually map it.

Shang Yang also proposed to abolish the old bureaucratic selection mechanism. This has touched the interests of too many people. Wang Mang also put it aside temporarily. At that time, the imperial examination system can be taken out and the old system can be directly replaced.

In addition, the Central Committee of the Shang also proposed to abolish the army, especially the elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the military reform, and then reduce military expenditures. However, now that the war in the south is undecided, Wang Mang still does not want to fight the army.

Many of the opinions put forward by the Central Committee of the Shang made Wang Mang stay in the middle, but Wang Mang also told the Central Committee of the Shang who was a little disappointed that within three years, these systems of the Central Committee of the Shang would definitely be implemented.

Of course, Wang Mang himself also mixed some things into the first reform, such as the provincial and county system. Originally, the central government implemented the county and county system, but with a swipe of Wang Mang's pen, it became the provincial and county system, and there was also the cabinet system. In the current situation where there are prime ministers in the whole mainland, it is not easy to do, but Wang Mang thinks that it is still possible to set up a cabinet and then divide the power of the prime minister, but the current cabinet has vague responsibilities. Many officials would not object to his establishment.

In fact, as Wang Mang expected, these ten reform proposals caused a lot of trouble after they were issued to the various yamen. , The influence brought by the Jianyu study, the officials did not have any major objections.

Although the ministers of the six ministries saw the establishment of the cabinet, they didn't take it seriously. They just thought it was a temporary organization for reform. In the past, when the imperial court promoted a task, it would also set up some temporary work leading groups. Permanent establishments don't matter either.

Naturally, Wang Mang would not explain the deep-seated meaning of these regulations. He just promoted the Central Committee of the Shang Dynasty to the Shangshu Order, which was on par with the Zhongshu Order, and was included in the cabinet together with the six ministries and nine officials. Once) the curtain was completely opened in the Great Qin Kingdom.

Jing Zhaoyin, or Chang'an made Lin Guodong very depressed recently. The capital was renamed Chang'an. According to Chang'an's situation, it can only be a county, so Lin Guodong became the county magistrate. Although he is the top county magistrate in the world, his authority is not even inferior. For ordinary senior officials, but the county magistrate?Lin Guodong always felt that Jing Zhaoyin did not sound domineering.

At this moment, Lin Guodong is looking for Wang Mang to report on his work in the imperial study. Since the completion of the imperial study, Wang Mang's eating, drinking and drinking have all been carried out in the imperial study. The emperor squatted here, and the ministers had no choice but to squat here. All are carried out in the Royal Study Room.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, I have already investigated the situation of the Taiping Temple. Based on the existing evidence, I can conclude that the unnamed female corpse must be related to the Taiping Temple." Lin Guodong kowtowed.

Wang Mang knew that Lin Guodong was coming to talk to him about this matter, but he didn't know the details, so he said, "Tell me carefully."

"First, a secret kit made by the palace was found at the place where the minister found the female corpse. Afterwards, the kit must be a thing in the palace, and only the Taiping Temple and the palace are related to the kit; second, the place where the female corpse was thrown is round. There is only one Taiping Temple within two kilometers; third, someone saw the woman appearing near the Taiping Temple, and seemed to be looking for someone; fourth, Chen developed an insider from the Taiping Temple. In the Taiping Temple, there were conflicts with the nobles in the palace; fifth, the master of the Taiping Temple had the same face when the minister went to investigate."

"The above five points are enough to prove that the Taiping Temple must be related to this matter. I believe that all members of the Taiping Temple should be detained and interrogated carefully, and they will surely gain something." Lin Guodong said.

Wang Mang's eyes flickered, he looked in the direction of Shangyuan Palace, and said, "Does the Empress Dowager know about this?"

"I should have known about it." Lin Guodong said: "When I went to investigate, I happened to meet Miss Baosi from Shangyuan Palace."

"I see." Wang Mang frowned and asked, "Do you know what Baosi was doing at that time?"

"It should be praying and offering incense on behalf of Shangyuan Palace." Lin Guodong said.

"In that case, you and I will go to the Shangyuan Palace, and we will report to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has always loved the people like a child. If it is really a good thing done by the Taiping Temple, the Queen Mother will not let them go lightly." Wang Mang stood up and ordered Deng Fang said: "Deng Fang, convey my will and drive to Yuan Palace."

"Abiding by the order." Deng Fang nodded and exited the study, and immediately made arrangements.

Li Lan has taken over the position of deacon and eunuch left by Feng Bao after his death. Because he is responsible for a lot of work, he cannot often listen to Wang Mang, so Deng Fang has taken over Li Lan's position and serves Wang Mang full-time.
